A19. Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance establishing a moratorium on
creation of off-street parking districts.
Gary Johnson, Public Works Director/City Engineer, provided the staff report, which is
available in the City Clerk's Office. He also mentioned that there were 3 petitions
submitted under the current rules and were in various stages "in the pipeline" and a
number of potential petitions being circulated.
Mayor Pringle questioned why staff was suggesting a moratorium ordinance, since it
was a Council policy. He asked if the policy could be placed on an agenda for
consideration of amendment or revocation.
Public Works Director Johnson noted the policy was written in 1985 and for 3 or 4
years, it focused on neighborhood inadequate parking problems, on a case-by-case
basis. He informed that the current policy was unmanageable by staff.
After discussion, Mayor Pringle stated he did not think an ordinance requiring a
moratorium was the proper action, he felt the current policy should be placed on the
next agenda for consideration of revocation or amendment and that staff should review
the process and, at a later date, bring the recommendations back for consideration.
All Council Members were in agreement.
Council Communications:
Council Members mentioned various activities that had taken place and were to place
within the community.
Mayor Pringle asked the Council Members who served on the various County boards
and commissions to bring the board's action to the Council meetings so the public
would be aware of any fee or charge increases being considered.
Adjournment:
There being no further business to come before the City Council, Mayor Pringle
adjourned the meeting at 6:45 P.M.
